Engine ID question

To my knowledge, all of the engines that will bolt up to a Super C are exactly same length. What makes you say this engine is shorter? You obviously have a reason. Could it be that someone has installed the wrong hood? A Super C water pump should bolt on over the lower engine water jacket port, and be driven by the main fan belt. On the older thermosyphon tractors fan belt went around crank and fan pullies only. Your fan belt should go around three pullies; crank, fan and water pump.

Tell us more, and no jokes until after 10 pm .

The only numbers behind the oil filter besides the firing order is the part number 356318R2. By short I mean that the oil fill doesn't clear the hood. Neither does the exhaust pipe or the radiator cap. It has a double crankshaft pulley. Only one of them is used. A belt goes around the crank, fan, and water pump. The fan is also a double pulley. The second pulley on the fan drives the generator. I seem to remember that the A and C engines are shorter than the Super C. When I bought this Super C, the original engine came separately, as well as the original radiator and fan/water pump.

The short you are talking about can be cured. To start with the original Super C radiator will be 2" higher than the one you have in the tractor. The pipes through the hood can be changed. exhaust pipe is just a 1.5" black iron pipe threaded into manifold. If you install the valve cover from the original Super C engine the oil fill pipe will reach through hood.

I'm not going to say you have an A or SA engine, as you don't, not the right engine block part number, plus the serial number is much too low for a 1954 Super A. Probably a swather or combine engine. Having said that you do have an A or SA radiator, and you do have an A or SA oil fill pipe and exhaust pipe.

You see the difference here is all SC, SA1, 100, 200, 130, 230, etc. had 2" higher radiator than A, SA, B or C, thus the hood was placed 2" higher from back to front.
